Scoring Chicks on Facebook

I have been asked by a lot of guys, if it’s right (read as: effective) to use the Facebook ‘poke’ to start a conversation.

Here’s my reply … NO! While the poke is nice little thingy to use on friends, but poking girls you don’t know, as a contact initiator…not a chance!

Pokes are for Poke-mon!

A poke is neither funny nor unique, conveys zero value and commands no interest or attraction. When it comes to opening a girl on Facebook or any social networking site for that matter, nothing beats a solid, interesting message that conveys VALUE, which compels her to reply. Facebook can be a tough place to pick up chicks, because on online dating sites you are at least aware of the fact that the girls there are looking for guys.

Poking (or cyber kissing or hugging) is quite useless since beautiful chicks get more pokes on Facebook than the Pillsbury Doughboy. I literally felt my jaw drop when I saw the number of pokes on the Facebook account of one of my girlfriends. She had dozens of desperadoes poking her on a regular basis, and her email account was full of ‘junk’ which she said she was tired of clearing. I wondered when she would go into business as a pin cushion.

The 'Compliment' Opner - Always Fails

Scoring chicks on Facebook is tough because it’s an out-and-out cold approach. You can never be certain whether your message will generate the desired effect. However, inspiring interest about yourself does dramatically improve your chances of getting girls to write back. For this your opening message should be one that’s has a strong purpose.

Telling a girl whom you don’t know, that she’s cute and THAT’S WHY you would like to be her ‘friend’ is not just a weak an online ‘opener’, but a line she is bound to have received from countless other guys.

Shooting in the Dark

A strong purposeful opener can be anything from a funny remark on profile picture to an intriguing open ended question. The message should give her the impression that you had a clear cut purpose in ‘choosing’ to write to her.

If your message pushes her curiosity button, you can consider her hooked and more often than not, you will get her to reply. Be cocky, be a little arrogant, be judgmental – even a sly ‘truism’ like … ‘You look like you are always on Facebook. Don’t have much of a life do you …?’

Getting Girls To Respond

A ‘shot in the dark’ it may be, but it will make her write back. Be it a shrewd comeback, an admission or a negation – a reply of some sort will be forthcoming. You can then it from there. It’s quite a simple mechanism that you can exploit. Optionally, you can start a ‘cause’ on Facebook and impress the chick with your values and stand on something negative or degrading to women

Facebook is a virtual melting pot of millions of interesting women, and an intriguing opening message is about all you need to get your foot through the door. Perfect for guys who are too lazy get out of the house to score chicks.
